While this is about Free Software which is about freedom and not price,
I also found the question a bit strange to ask here in a general way.
Fortunately it is at everybodies discretion to answer or not. ;)

The FSFE believes that Free Software will take a good share of the
overall running software which means it is important that good
commcercial way will be found to create, maintain and deal with Free Software.
Releated to GIS, I would consider this on-topic for the list.

To me it is in commercial Free Software and service, 
that is one of the reasons why my company Intevation works in this area.
